Culinary Corner

Our mission: communicate evidence-based nutrition and cooking principles to the UND campus in a fun and applicable way.

Culinary Corner is the demonstration kitchen located on the first floor of the UND Wellness Center. Classes are open to students, Wellness Center members, faculty and staff of the University as well as University friends. Our instructors range from students to guest chefs and each has their own specialty. Whether they make sushi or homemade pizza, you will learn culinary skills and tips on healthy eating.

If a can opener is your standard kitchen appliance, or you always burn microwave popcorn, our classes are for you! Kitchen mishaps are just part of the fun, and we’ll be sure that you never leave empty handed.

Food items being made in class will be posted to the calendar below and to the online registration portal about 2 weeks prior to class.

Reserve the Kitchen!

Culinary team-building is currently one of the hottest trends in the area of enhancing a group’s performance. Much like the ingredients in a recipe, each member performs a unique role within the organization, yet is dependent on other members to achieve both short-term objectives and long-term goals. Reserve the kitchen for your event whether you are UND students, faculty, staff, or community members. It is open to everyone! The Culinary Corner is the only demonstration kitchen in the Greater Grand Forks that offers these wonderful culinary team-building activities.
